TINSEL TOWN Too cold to head outside? Snuggle up indoors with a good DVD like David Cronenbergs psychological thriller, Maps To The Stars. The blockbuster is about a Hollywood family chasing celebrity, starring Hollywood heavyweights Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, Robert Pattinson and John Cusack. As Lydia Whitlock, the author behind 2013s To My Assistant: Things I'll Never Do to You, But Many Other Crazy Bosses Will, knows only too well, being an assistant in Hollywood isn't all glitz and glamour. Her tome, which is based on her experiences as a personal assistant to a high flying film big dog, sees her humorously reflect on all the crazy tasks she was delegated as an assistant in Tinsel Town and why she would never treat her future assistant like that.

WHERE TO EAT THIS WEEK

SALMONTINI London is saturated with restaurants offering top quality fish, but Beirut-born brand Salmontini just went and trumped them all. Nestled in swanky Belgravia, Jason Bassili's new haunt has made its way over from the Middle East - and we are welcoming it with open arms. Offering unparalleled luxury in the coziest of settings, the Pont street eatery is the perfect date night setting. Possibly the most sumptuous sushi currently on offer in the capital, the team are putting their own spin on the classics. Menu highlights include 35 days aged Rib-eye steak served with Dauphinoise potatoes and wild mushrooms, Crispy California Maki with crunchy tempura crumbs and a Salmon Kaware drizzled with black truffle oil.

PACHAMAMA After weeks of festive indulgence I am craving small portions and flesh flavours. Enter Pachamama. The Peruvian food movement is getting bigger in the UK and if you havent tried it yet it is only a matter of time before it filters down to your taste buds. For first timers Pachamama makes a great introduction to the exotic flavours of Peru. Combing the influences in Peruvian cuisine with seasonal British produce it makes a gentle but extremely tasty introduction. Created by Head Chef Tom Catley the menu is designed for sharing and consists of small plates, main dishes and substantial plates for the table to share cooked. Highlights include melt in the mouth beef cheeks and several raw fish dishes including a Yellowtail tuna dish that is very hard to share. My only warning? Avoid taking the fish-phobic, otherwise there will be some inequalities when it comes to dividing dishes, lets just say I came away very full that night. MARTHA CLIFF

108 BRASSERIE Set in the heart of Marylebone, 108 Brasserie has been about for a while but an exciting new menu and a trendy bar scene has attracted a new clientele as well as maintaining its already incredibly loyal fans. The evening menu is made up of simple yet British foods and there is probably at least one thing that you are yet to try, coming as a sigh of relief in the city where most people can recite the menus of their favourite restaurants. I sampled, with some interpretation, the crispy pig cheeks and they were the perfect balance of exciting and moreish new flavours. The Octopus Carpaccio is also worth a recommendation not only for its impressive freshness but also for the pure beauty exuded on your plate. It may sound far from fast food but the service couldnt be more efficient. In fact when the desserts took more than five minutes to arrive I was met by an almighty apology and two glasses of whisky. I am becoming ever so much more patient. MARTHA CLIFF

PIZZA UNION There is a certain satisfaction that comes with a dirty burger after work. However, fast food is often met with fast judgement and so let me introduce you to the after work dinner quickie that just got posh. Pizza Union located in Shoreditch is now my not so shameful after office eatery. Inspired by the crispy pizzas of Rome Pizza Union serves authentic Italian food in record timing. Once you have selected a pizza from the extensive list you order at the counter and collect your pager that will inform you when your order is ready. Youll have to try and resist the temptations that scatter the tills including olives, nuts, and dips. The interior features informal benches meaning you can go unnoticed as a lone dinner and munch away in peace, avoiding U.W.A (unwanted waiter attention.) My pizza was as good as any you would get from a sit in restaurant chain and easily a third of the price. Pizza Union is open all day (11am  11pm), seven days a week. MARTHA CLIFF

THE PROVIDORES It is not uncommon to expect small portions at a fancy restaurant, however at this one youre allowed to order more than one! The Providores in trendy Marylebone is perfect for those of us who just cant decide. Their extensive menu features miniature takes on classic dishes with the aim being to choose three mini meals. It is all a bit disorientating to begin with but you neednt worry - the friendly staff are right on hand to explain all. I decided on a freekeh salad, followed by a blue cheese soufflé and the restaurants signature dish the beef pesto. I was not disappointed, the beef was cooked to absolute perfection and the garlic dressing had a divine flavour that sat beautifully with the silky pesto. The only problem I can see with the Providores is everything is tasty and small enough for you to be gagging for more. It will certainly keep me coming back with my order of three beef pestos at the ready. MARTHA CLIFF

ROWLEY'S So often I head out for dinner and order a steak and receive several up-turned noses for ordering chips (a food critic ordering chips pah!) But I dare you to find anything that goes quite as well with a hefty steak. Luckily for me I have found a place where they encourage this kind of behaviour. Rowleys, tucked round the back of Piccadilly, provided the perfect setting for myself and guest to gorge ourselves on comfort food (including sticky toffee pudding) after an August down pour. The steak is what Rowleys is famed for with its 36-year-old reputation still attracting new customers. We ordered the house special of Entrecôte which, is served in a sharing dish (where you have ample opportunity to sneak more than your fair share) and is served with unlimited fries that could very well be the tastiest Ive had in months. It seems I am not alone in my quest for a carb loaded side. You can have your chip and eat it too. MARTHA CLIFF

PING PONG The dim sum favourite, Ping Pong has just launched their new summer menu and we are already hooked! We are loving the beef fillet dumpling (pictured) it may look a little on the green side but be not fooled, it is deliciously fresh! Beef and wilted spinach are combined in a fresh spinach pastry, yum! Best of all they have just added three new fruity cocktails to their already extensive menu! Head down to Ping Pong for some fabulously fresh new flavours! You can thank us later. MARTHA CLIFF

BLUES KITCHEN The Blues Kitchen has recently opened a second venue in trendy Shoreditch. Located on Curtain Road it is the East London sibling to the original Blues Kitchen which opened in Camden in 2009. The Blues Kitchen will offer Texan BBQ, live music seven nights a week, and showcase one of the biggest bourbon selections in the UK. Open daily for brunch, lunch and dinner, the Texan BBQ menu will feature cuts of beef and pork, smoked in-house for up to 16 hours over a blend of hickory, oak, mesquite and fruit woods, some imparting flavour and texture into the meat. Options include Smoke roasted chicken or Slow smoked beef brisket, all served with fries and slaw. A 110 gallon lobster tank, installed into centre of main bar as a unique design feature, will house live lobsters from Scotland, available to order. It is an all round treat whilst remaining unpretentious, hurry and get booked! We anticipate a big hit! MARTHA CLIFF
